One of the things I love most about living in London is that you never quite know what the day has in store. Yesterday was a perfect example. I was in central London at the National Gallery for lunch with my friend Peter, who was celebrating a special birthday. There...
Last weekend, I found myself in six very different gatherings across London. On Friday afternoon, I joined hundreds of people watching the Wimbledon men’s semi-final on a giant outdoor screen in central London. Complete strangers, all absorbed in the same drama,...
